View Full Version : Worthenshaws Freedom
This is the dairy free ice cream substitute which was featured on Dragons Den.
I contacted Tesco as Worthenshaws said it would be available in their stores nationwide.
However, Tesco told me they have launched this in certain stores to see how it sells before it is decided whether it will be available in all stores.
I was told to go into the Wick store and fill in a request card and, if they get enough requests, they might stock it.
So if you want to try this could you please do this to see whether we can get it here.

It would have to sell in vast quantities before Tesco in Wick would stock it. Tesco want profit , not to know what their customers want. It would be grand if they did but dont hold your breath ......

They started stocking Swedish Glace vanilla ice cream again after this was requested and don't take in vast amounts so it always sells. However, to me anyway, it doesn't taste as good as it used to.:(

That's good news and very encouraging. As I thought they don't need to take in much stock.:D

Are the two not inextricably linked?

Might be free of dairy produce, but still has the usual nondescript headings in the ingredients list that could cover a multitude of sins!
Vegetable Fibre, Emulsifier (Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids), Stabilisers (Tara Gum, Sodium Alginate), Flavouring
Think I'll stick to the home made liquid nitrogen, egg, cream, milk and sugar recipe!

Some of us can't tolerate the liquid nitrogen stuff!:lol:
In this case though the ingredients are all 'natural' as she feeds it to her wee boy with food allergies and don't think Duncan Bannatyne would risk putting his money behind a health food that wasn't healthy!

They do list them.

Yeah, I mean, why not list what the flavourings are, what the vegetable fibre is, etc.
I am sure nuts could be defined as vegetable fibre, and pigs blood could be used a flavouring, both things you would probably want to know if they were in your food!
Well this info from the website rules out nuts and pigs blood!:D
